Lighting Candles by The Weepies

This is just a song that I have had stuck in my head lately...not for any particular reason...but its a very poignant song whose acoustical mood matches it lyrics. I feel like a lot of Wheaton students end up taking this view of love, and longing...whether its because of their own lack of possibility for relationships, fear of accepting a new one, or simply a fear of starting a new one. Many times, we cling to the beauty of our dreams (lighting candles) instead of trying to make them happen....

I also had a picture that matched this song, so I figured I would post it. An excellent rainy day song.



Trying not to hope too hard for what I want
Trying not to go too far with all the dreaming

Oh, the disappointment, so hard to handle
I'm still in the dark, lighting candles

Late at night I lie awake, think I should go
Catch a train to stranger towns
Where no one knows me

Oh, the disappointment, so hard to handle
I'm still in the dark, lighting candles

Oh, the company you keep, and things you do
Something in my heart will not give up on you

Now that I have got somewhere, where will I go?
Love's a train to city lights
Where someone knows you

Oh, the disappointment, so hard to handle
I'm still in the dark, lighting candles
I'm still in the dark, lighting candles
